Editorial Reviews

Explicit Version. Knoxville, Tennesse based Straight Line Stitch traces its origins back to the turn of the millennium when a lineup vaguely recognizable from the modern-day membership presented a tag-team vocal style. This early shadow of the band laid the groundwork for a collective which is gradually improving via an assembly of the current members. Straight Line Stitch might previously have been known for their rather fast and heavy style, but the refinement of their music has been forged in an itinerary of relentless touring and the result is maturity as a band, in which they have improved their brand of metal significantly. Their signature sound has broadened over the years into a diverse amalgam of groove, hardcore, rock, thrash, and grind whose tonality runs the full spectrum of frantically random to upliftingly melodic, and their compositions strike a balance between accessibility for a wide general audience and progressiveness for more cerebral listeners.

This is truly one of those rare albums that you can play all the way through and not get tired of...an up-and-coming Metal band with their own unique sound they bring to the table. Check out other albums from Straight Line Stitch and you won't be disappointed.

This recommendation is aimed at those that actually do love their Metal.

This is one powerful album. Alexis's voice is rich and sweet at times, and knife-sharp and heavy at others. The lyrics are soulful and make you think of things you have experienced. This power rides on a wave of guitar and bass that pushes you along through the CD. The album is warm and bitter, powerful and friendly, all at once. I couldn't stop listening to this album when I bought it. Keep an eye out for their next album, "The Good Fight", coming out this summer.
